H. Y. Belk- ? ? AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY Well, according to the calendar Easter is gone with the March Wind. It will not come back on a visit to earth lor 49 years again. Most of us will be on our Gold en Shores where they don't claim Easter any more. Mr. Truman is back home from his recreation vacation in the Everglades where peace and ri vers of pleasure flow. Miss Helen Thornburg, with Mr. and Mrs. Griffin are basking in the Easter sunshine in Tam pa, Fla. Where the birds sing and floweM bloom in gorgeous perfection. Its a vacation. Mr. Bill Boss and Mrs. Alene Boss spent Easter In the dear old mountains of Asheville. ' Our neightbor, Mr. Bud Mc Daniel is much improved after having pneumonia. Let me ask you beloveds, did Harry win the war In Korea? Was that what he was doing down all that time in the Sunshine State? Now here's a good bet? Paul Ledford, Ward 4 candidate' for commissioner. Mr. Ledford is a very deserving young fellow. If you voters vote Paul in, ? I'm sure you will be more than plea ased with the results. Yes, Easter is Tgone with the [ winds of '51. [What a wonder jf u 1 process. |Now we see Life land reproduc Itlon. Makes one I realise more and |more that there las to be a jMlghty God to keep the Universe moving and all Life on It. Then why do fool men fight. Because they do not believe ih a Mighty God. All saved people believe in a Divine Buler. No question more insistent or more profound or important than the one an old ancient Godly man asked: "If a man die shall he live again?" Every poet, ev ery philosopher, every Christian teacher has speculated upon this there. The human has al ways experienced the importance and conviction that this flower ahd fruit of the human soul was not born to die utterly. I'm glad that man was born immortal and will never die. If we choose to die and go to hell, we are free moral agents. I like the plan of j Salvation because its God's plan. | Man's plans always fail. Why are our boys freezing and dying in Koi-ea. Because Mr. High Tax Harry and Mr. Ache son declared that Korea was not essential to our Asiatic defense line and that we were not going to save Formosa from the Reds. They said to Russia or Stalin, come on take them Then our boys died by the thousands. Now since the war is kindly cooling off, what will they up and start? I'd hate to have the blood on me these men have created.- Some day they must pay. Christ definitely taught sepa rate church and state. The Bible teaches charity but not commu nism. I do not believe that most -people who oppose what is com monly called communism are op posed to economic communism for other people who really de sire it. We do not oppose the British or any other foregin gov ernments having Socialism if they like it and can live with it without asking for assistance to maintain themselves in a sys tem that .proves so inefficient. Jesus never has taught any peo ple to follow any form of Soci alism. However, He does teach us to avoid deceit, stealing, mur der, hatred, ag^rpssion, lying on the other fellow and many othci sins, including athesism. That seems to me to be so commonly associated with communism and Soviet dictatorship created by dear old Joe hell-cat Stalin. Why don't we hang old Joe and stop the racket? He's a cold blooded lion, tiger, and panther. Is that all I can remember just now. One time All tire people were gathered to hear Peter preach. Some stayed so long the Bible says they needed help from other Christians. This was the season they had for selling their possessions and giving to each man as he had needs. America has always helped men in dis tress and look. how God helps A merica. No nation on earth has been so blessed. Its true we do get fooled into wars, but dont we come out always ahead? The sad part we must lose a lot of good men. Maybe its ordained so. We still have that faith in the Eternal to win. David, one of earth's greatest Kings, he went into battle many times. He killed just like millions do today. He declared all men are liars in their hearts. The Is This Graft ? Since 1949 I have cat my window watts from 1200 to 300. Stopped burning large neon signs. I use gas at home for cooking. Store and home combined in 1949 averaged $27.00 per month. Alter catting down every possible watt, my bill averaged $33.00 per month in 1950. ft* far in 1951 my bill has averaged $42.00 per month. I would like to know if this is happeing to other peo ple or if they're Just picking on me? If it isn't just me there's something else rotten in the City Hall. Garland E. Still Candidate For Mayor. Since the Crime Investigation, people are wonder ing if sach graft could happen in the City HalL especi ally those taxpayer* urho have been trudging up the middle oi a muddy road to work all these years, and sending their children up a slimy pig path to school every morning, not knowing what a paved street or sidewalk looks like. They have not found adequate sewage, nor eVen proper street lighting, and u# recreation for their chll them for wanting to know if *? ?. v*:"; .W '?

The ambulance entrance is on the left. Just off the photo on the right is the beat ing plant of the institution. (Photo by Carlisle Studio). good book teaches us that no liar shall enter the Peaceful Ccity You can't steal And reach the Oity. An old man- decided his tjme was not long on earth, so he got the preacher to baptize ?him in the icy waters of the riv er.. As he came up after the first ducking, a fellow standing close by asked John if the water was cold? N-.-.-., he chattered. Better dOck him again, Parson, said John. He ain't stopped lying yet. I guess lying is a habit with all of us who lie. If you come to me for a loan I let you have the mo ney. If you don't pay me back you are a liar and a rogue. Two <n one Some folks jus^ want pay back. 1 Uon't have any too much money, but if you come to me and make like you are broke and put up a good face, you can fool me most every time. A fel low came tb me Monday and said the law give me just today] to get the money up. I said, Oh, 1 hell, do you remember what a hard time I had about a year ago getting that* $10? Yes, but I will pay you next week, just as soon as my check comes. I said you told me that before. Here, take it and go on. Some men are liars? not all. We have heard so much about the so-called Fair Deal since Tru man went in. Its not so fair in many ways. It is a mixture of poltiical rascality. And its wrong for the Federal Government to assume that the way to achieve this is through acts of Congress. The Federal Government should not force the people who support the Government to do just what it thinks they Should do in their daily lives. Federal aid to edu cation had good intentions but too much politics back of tht deal. The best of our people are against it. We had better go a little slow than to ask tor Fed Sa'Ma^itikerthealdfor^^-| ed Medicine. It would be an in justice to give the Federal Go! n7^nt t0? much authority to Kf Rwqo!

Far worse than ' anything which has ever ex'sted I before Nothing equals the sla very of the people in Russia that I they exist under today.

If you are going to save yourselves from simply be eat up by taxes to feed all the In grates in 1951, its time you were making known to the members of Congress how you 'and I feel, and get these birds to put on their thinking caps, so it will soak in. I want Mr. Truman to stop, look and listen, and stay at home and do his fishing, when the moon gets right. Now lets hope by faith that Uncle Sam has the war in hand. Lets all hope and pray to Him that our boys may never be call ed to foreign lands again to fight other nation's battles. Teach us to stay at home and tend to our own business and pray that oth- ! er natinos can learn to do the same. Help our nation to keep free from -political shame and greed. Help our rulers as well as outselves to ever keep the faith of those who fought and died to preserve this great nation. Help our President to see him self as others see him. Give us; more faith in. those who rule ov er us. May they strive ever to keep, their hands clean and their hearts free from greed. And may we ever remember that the other fellow has the sa^he rights to live as you arid I in this free country. That's all for now.

All persons indebted to said es tate will please make immediate payment. This the 22nd day of March, 1951. Kelly Dixon, Executor. J. R. Davis, Atty. ,m-23 ? a-27 Burning Land Cover Causes Huge Losses A fortune literally goes up in smoke on Tar Heel farms each year. The loss is. caused by farm ers who make it a practice to burn cotton and corn stalks, crab grass, woodland cover, and simi lar material. J. Frank Doggett, extension soil conservationist at State Col lege, says Eastern Carolina far mers "burn up more land cover and destroy more nitrogen each year than we could ever hop.* to produce through winter legum es." : Doggett points out that the practice of burning land cover is not only wasteful but also un wise from the standpoint of hu man safety. Only recently, he re calls, two small children were burned to death in Wake County while their fathers were burning brush and com stalks. The soil conservationist ex plains that an acre of corn nor -mally produces about two tons of stover which contains approxi mately 36 pounds of actual nitro gen. This is the equivalent of 225 pounds of nitrate of soda. When the stover is burned this valuable plant food literally goes up'ln smoke. ? Lesser amounts of other plant foods, such as phosphate and ?potash, also are lost, says Dog gett. TTie same two tons of sto ver contain about 16 pounds of phosphate as well as about 46 pounds of potash. The loss from burning cotton stalks Is even greater. An acre of cotton produces about 1,500 pounds of plants which contain 38 pounds of actual nitrogen. Similarly, a ton of grass hay con tains 22 pounds of nitrogen. j lean McClain Named House President GREENVILLE, S. C. ? Miss Jean McClain, daughter of Mr.; and Mrs. E. C.
